In this chapter a Law of Large Numbers is proved for an extension of the functionals
V
n
(
f
,
X
) and
V
′
n
(
f
,
X
). For the first one, the summands
$f(X_{i \varDelta _{n}}-X_{(i-1) \varDelta _{n}})$
are replaced by
$F(\omega ,(i-1) \varDelta _{n},X_{i \varDelta _{n}}-X_{(i-1) \varDelta _{n}})$
for a function
F
on
Ω
×ℝ
+
×ℝ
d
, where
d
is the dimension of
X
, and likewise for the functional
V
′
n
(
f
,
X
). The results are perhaps obvious generalizations of those of Chap.

, the main difficulty being to establish the assumptions on
F
ensuring the convergence.
The motivation for this is to solve parametric statistical problems for discretely observed processes: in the last section one considers the solution of a (continuous) stochastic differential equation whose diffusion coefficient depends smoothly on a parameter
θ
. Then, on the basis of discrete observation along a regular grid, one shows how the previous Laws of Large Numbers can be put to use for constructing estimators of
θ
which are consistent, as the discretization mesh goes to 0.
